Fight the winter dark with the Wisconsin premiere of the thriller GASLIGHT, presented by Forward Theater Company (@forwardtheater) from October 29 to November 22. GASLIGHT is a new adaptation of the thriller that gave us a word for danger far, far too close to home. Bella Manningham is frightfully happy. Except: she’s been seeing things. Losing things. Forgetting things. Alone in a gloomy house in Gilded Age New York, as the gas lamps dim and flicker around her, Bella begins to wonder whether her hold on reality is slipping, and who among the people around her she can truly trust.
Get your tickets at the link in our bio.

Happy opening weekend to the cast, production, and artistic team of GASLIGHT, running now thru Nov 22 at Overture Center for the Arts! This spooky thriller is the perfect way to celebrate the Halloween weekend. Check out these spectacular images from Ross Zentner. Not only are the performances a home run, but the design is truly a grand slam (see what we did there #Brewers?).

MYSTERY, SHE WATCHED. 🕯️ Long before Murder, She Wrote, a 17-year-old Angela Lansbury made her film debut as Nancy, the cheeky maid in Gaslight (1944). She stole scenes and an Oscar nomination at the same time.
Catch her (and Ingrid Bergman, in an Oscar-winning role) at our FREE screening at the Chazen Museum @chazenartuw - 750 University Ave, Thursday, Oct 15 at 5:00pm sharp.
Jessica Fletcher would want you to examine the evidence, but we're confident it's going to be a good time.

There's nothing like the first day of school 😀 The first rehearsal of GASLIGHT included great food, design presentations, and a wonderful readthrough by this wildly talented cast. We're so excited to present the Wisconsin premiere of this new adaptation by Steven Dietz.
